Dear Mr. Basinger:
This letter shall serve as an update to the November 13, 2015 letter that notified you of the Tier
III applicability/notification for the White Street Landfill (NPDES General Permit NCGi 20000).
The November 2015 letter indicated that a fourth benchmark exceedance had occurred during
our current permit cycle at stormwater Outfal1 004. Analytical results for October 2015 showed a
chemical oxygen demand (COD) reading of 153 mgll, which is above the benchmark value of
120 mg/l. The permit term results are summarized below:

As you can see. the most recent sampling event has demonstrated a significant drop in the COD
concentrations. The majority of COD readings (10 out of 16) during this permit cycle have been
at or below the benchmark limitations as we have been on Tier 11 monthly sampling since
November 2014 and continue monthly sampling (when discharge occurs during normal
operational hours). The month of .tune did not have a rainfall event resulting in discharge during
normal working hours (reported on the most recent non discharge DMR). We will continue
conducting monthly sampling until such a time that the results indicate three consecutive
readings for COD below 120 mg/l.

This letter is to notify you of a fourth benchmark exceedance during our current permit cycle at
stormwater Outfall 004. Analytical results for October 2015 showed a chemical oxygen demand
(COD) reading of 153 mg/l, which is above the benchmark value of 120 mg/l. The four exceed-
ances are summarized below:

11/17/14

1/23/15
121
10/27/ 15
153 J
As you can see, most of the readings are only slightly above the benchmark value of 120 mg/l.
The majority of COD readings (7 out of 11) during this permit cycle have been within
benchmark limitations as we have been on Tier I1 monthly sampling since November 2014.
However, there were not three consecutive readings below 120 mg/l.
The most recent stormwater BMP improvements at this site included constructing a stone check
dam in the creek upstream of Outfall 004 and installing a silt fence at the composting site. We
are working and will continue to work diligently to get the COD below the benchmark value.
If you have any questions, please free to contact me at 336-373-7612.

The City of Greensboro would like to request the withdrawal of our Notice of Intent for coverage
under the National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) General Permit for
Compost Facilities, NCG24. As discussed during your January 16, 2013 site visit, the City of
Greensboro — White Street Compost Facility is co -located at the White Street Landfill. Per your
recommendation and concurrence with Mr. Corey Basinger, Surface Water Protection Regional
Supervisor of the Winston-Salem Regional Office, the White Street facility will continue
operating under the NCG 12 General Permit for landfills.
Please feel free to contact me at (336) 373-4188 if you have questions or require further
information.
Sincerely,
Gail Hay, P.E.

Subject: Greensboro composting activity
FYI, No Action
Hi Bradley,
I advised Gail Hay (the responsible City of Greensboro staff member) yesterday that we would return the compost
facility NCG24 NO] upon her written request. It was my impression that we should expect that request pretty soon.
(Actually, electronic return request letter arrived as ! was composing this trip report, hard copy to follow.) Permit
application number NCG240006.
The White Street Landfill is the site of a closed MSW operation, a continuing C&D landfill (one cell is being closed out
now and another cell has begun operating), a woody waste mulching operation, a leaf mulching operation, and a yard
waste composting operation (Type 1). Something like 50+ acres in size. The C&D operation is covered under NCG12 and
is the predominant on -site activity; DWQ has previously granted representative outfall status to reduce the number of
outfalls being sampled as large areas of the site are the closed MSW operaton; WSRO has in the past excused them from
monthly sampling based on past consecutive fecal exceedances; they are currently in Tier 2 based on TSS exceedances;
some minor responses to TSS have been attempted (floc logs tethered in the drainage ditches; cleaning out of
sedimentation basins; installation of check dams in the drainage features). I didn't review the before/after data, but the
on -site staff characterized their progress so far in addressing TSS as 'slow'.
just visually, the observed runoff from the compost site seemed much less problematic wrt the TSS being generated by
disturbed earth from the in -progress capping operation on the closed -out C&D cell. No doubt the TSS I observed
yesterday was well in excess of our benchmark. The disturbed earth portion of the closing C&D cell site was analogous
to a construction site. There were down -gradient 'sedimentation basins' and they appeared to work just as well as we
are used to seeing at other construction sites.
A good portion of the site has the benefit of a vegetated swale for drainage conveyance. I'm not sure of all the
contributing drainage areas, as the swale was only of passing interest since it did not drain the composting area. I have
seen vegetated practices implemented very effectively at other compost and landfill sites: Novozymes compost; Forum
52 compost in W-S; City of Sanford compost; Stanley County Septic compost; and others. By comparison, I wonder at
the relative effectiveness of check dams vs real engineered vegetated systems. Typically what landfills and composters
have in abundance is land (although not always.) It seems that the low hanging fruit here is to influence the initial site
design to use some of the land available so that the site plan includes vegetated practices beyond just what DWM may
require, ie sediment basins, in the meantime, it continues to make sense to attempt the check dams and silt fence type
approaches, just to see what they are capable of.
I think this disconnect between designers complying with DWM's requirement for a sediment pond, and designers NOT
DESIGNING for compliance with the stormwater permit benchmarks is at the heart of what will be a continuing problem
for years. My perspective is that the on -site operating staff are typically glad to throw in a floc log, or set up some silt
fence. But it's not so easy after the site has been in operation for 12 years for them to approach the Solid Waste
Director or City Council with a substantial capital request to retrofit a 50 acre site with vegetated practices. Should
design engineers be doing this at the initial design? Absolutely. But they don't. However, I think there is some flexibility
in the design of the progression of phases in a typical landfill operation. Perhaps we could persuade the design
community that when they get to the design of Phase III or Stage 4 or however the progression of a landfill is labeled,
that they have a second opportunity to do the whole job of environmental protection, not just a part of the job.
1
Can we take any lesson from the White Street Landfill to apply to future circumstances with co -located compost
operations?
• 1 think for the time being, SPU should still visit the sites with the RO's to look for how the physical circumstances
might influence permitting decisions.
• I think we know ahead of time that sticking with NCG12 will be OK, unless something peculiar is observed.
On a personal note:
l thought it was a great day to be making such a site visit, although not everyone else agreed that a cold,
moderate rain was in anyway agreeable.
I got to drive a 4x4 up a muddy slope in reverse. I was gratified by the expression of silent appreciation from
three white -knuckled passengers, who apparently were deeply moved by my skill behind the wheel of a 5000
pound top-heavy vehicle.

Subject: RE: White Street Landfill Compost Stormwater Permit
Hi Gail, sorry for the delay in responding to your earlier email last month.
I was at your facility some time ago when the Monitoring Committee of the Compost
Stakeholder Group met there, and Jeri took us on a tour. But still I'm not sure I remember all
the specifics at your site, other than there was the potential for composting and landfilling
operations going on at the same site, same time. So, with no refresher on the physical facts
(which do matter), here's how I think your site might fit as I remember it:
I'm assuming you currently have composting activities and landfilling activities. And if
you are a Type 1 composting facility per your DWM composting permit, then all of your
discharges are considered stormwater. That means you do not have to worry about
permitting the wastewater discharges as far as distinguishing them from stormwater
discharges. They are all stormwater per new state legislation this past summer, for Type
1 facilities.
In general for circumstances where two permits might pertain, we in the Stormwater
Permitting Unit always try not to have two permits on one site, if we feel that we can
protect the receiving waters with just one permit. So, our preference is always to see if
we can issue just a single permit. My beginning perspective at your site would be the
same, subject to a refresher on the physical facts, and evaluation by the Winston-Salem
Regional Office.
I just now reviewed the analytical testing for the two General Permits that we would
consider at your site: NCG12 for landfills, which is the permit you are currently
operating under, I believe. And NCG24 for composting operations. Under NCG12 your
current obligation is to test 2/yr for TSS, COD, and fecal, plus weekly inspections of the
stormwater controls, including the erosion and sediment control features. Under
NCG24 your obligation would be to test the stormwater discharge quarterly for TSS
COD, fecal, nitrogen, phosphorus, copper, lead, zinc, and pH; a more substantial testing
burden. (Background: NCG24 is a roll -out program for us. We deliberately selected
quarterly testing for NCG24, in part, in order to gather more data quicker so that both
DWQ and composters can operate from the same sort of appreciation for the real
pollutant content in the discharges from a compost site.)
More background: As I understood what Raleigh told us, the cost was the key element
that caused them to pursue legislation on this issue, and in particular the classification
of all discharges as stormwater was the key element in reducing their forecasted costs at
their Wilders Grove Road facility. Subsequently and on the basis of their reduced cost
forecast, Raleigh applied for coverage under NCG24. BUT please note, your
circumstance is different from Raleigh's. Raleigh did not have their compost facility co -
located on their landfill. They were not in a position to explore the choice between
NCG12 (landfill permit) and NCG24 (compost permit.) They needed relief via
adjustments to the compost permit, and they had no alternative through the landfill
permit like you do.
OK, back to Greensboro. Even though your circumstances are not like Raleigh's, you
can still benefit from the legislation, I think. I would want our folks at the W-S Regional
Office to visit your site with the choice between one landfill permit (the current NCG12)
and two permits (NCG12 for most of the site, PLUS NCG24 for the compost portion
discharges). As 1 said, my beginning preference would be that we just stick with NCG12.
BUT, I really would like the benefit of me and/or our folks in W-S visiting the site again.
As i remember the site conditions, I think we could go with just continued coverage
under NCG12.
• The one thing I think I remember about one of the operational areas of the site was that
you had a grinder set up right at the head of a drainage ditch that went pretty directly
off the site. This is pretty vague for me, and I'd want to take a look at that area again, as
well as the physical facts of the drainage from the composting area.
Heads up: we are about to re -issue NCG12 at the end of this month, October 2012. In
general, and in response to comments from the permittees, there has been a small
relaxation of the monitoring and inspection requirements, although not as much as
some in the industry requested during the public comment period.
Sorry to be so long-winded. How's this for a plan?_ a) You request that the WSRO folks
visit your site with this particular question in mind. I'll join them if I can; b) I'm inclined
to think that continued coverage under the re -issued NCG12 will be sufficient, but will
want to hear from WSRO that they think the same; c) if so, then you can 'withdraw' your
application for NCG24 with no hassle from us. At any point in this scheme, if it appears
that there might be pollutant discharge problems, we would have to re -think how we
could approach it together.
• Gail, if you see a quicker/better path, just let me know, I'm open to doing what makes
sense for us all.

Good Morning Mr. Pickle,
How will the new compost legislation impact us? I realize there may not be a 'simple' answer
but I would ask for your guidance on how we should move forward to make that determination.
Background: Our Large Type I compost facility is located at the White Street Landfill and is
included in NCG12 right now. I submitted our NOI for NCG24 with the idea that we would try to
separate the compost discharge points from the landfill SDOs in order to set up two separate
sampling/monitoring regimes. Also, we have been looking to modify (or possibly cease) our
compost operations but have made no decisions to date.
New Legislation: I saw where Raleigh had opted to apply for a NCG24 certificate of coverage for
stor mwater only, and DWQ would excise the wastewater language. Would that apply to us as
well or could we potentially only need NCG12 coverage?
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

Subject: Site visit in Greensboro
Stormtroopers:
Just to reiterate my report in staff meeting Yesterday,
I have a site trip to the White Street Landfill in Greensboro set for January 16, 2013. This will be a 6 -7 hour round trip,
leaving at 9:00 and returning perhaps as late as 3:30 — 4:00,
Greensboro is operating both a landfill and a composting operation on the same footprint. WSRO staff and i will be
viewing the physical facts of the layout to see whether it makes sense to simply keep this site under only NCG12
(landfills), the current permit; or to require the additional permitting of some of the discharges under NCG24
(composting). The facility has coverage currently under NCG12, and has applied for coverage under NCG24, but we have
not yet acted on their NCG24 application.
In the future perhaps we will be able to reach a decision on this type of question of co -located landfills and compost
operations without a SPU site visit, but this is a first time chance to see the on -the -ground facts, at least in this case. So,
in addition to responding to the permittee's specific question, the site visit has some educational value as far as how we
imagine dealing with future instances.
So, if you're interested in traveling with, just let me know.

Subject: NPDES Stormwater Permit Coverage Renewal
City of Greensboro - White Street Landfill
COC Number NCG120013
Guilford County
In response to your renewal application for continued coverage under stormwater General Permit NCG120000
the Division of Water Quality (DWQ) is forwarding herewith the reissued General Permit. This permit is
reissued pursuant to the requirements of North Carolina General Statute 143-215.1 and the Memorandum of
Agreement between the state of North Carolina and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, dated October
15, 2007 (or as subsequently amended).
The following information is included with your permit package:
• A new Certificate of Coverage (COC)
• A copy of General Permit NCG120000
• A copy of the Technical Bulletin for the General Permit
+ Two copies of the Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) Form
• Two copies of the Qualitative Monitoring Report Form
The General Permit authorizes discharges of stormwater, and it specifies your obligations for discharge
controls, management, monitoring, and record keeping. Please review the new permit to familiarize yourself
with all the changes in the reissued permit. Your facility has six (6) months from the time of receipt of the
permit to update your current SPPP to reflect all new permit requirements.
The first sample period of your permit begins January 1, 2013. Your facility must sample a "measureable
storm event" beginning during the periods beginning January 1 and July 1 of every year (or, if applicable,
report "No Flow," as outlined in Part III, Section E). Also, please note that Tier 3 Actions in Part II of your
permit are triggered by benchmark exceedances on four occasions beginning on the effective date of this
permit and do not count prior exceedances.
The more significant changes in the General Permit since your last COC was issued are noted either in the
Draft Permit Fact Sheet that accompanied the public notice (http://porta1.ncdenr.org/web/wq/ws/su/current-
notices), or in the Response to Comments / Summary of Changes and Technical Bulletin documents that are
posted on the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website with the new General Permit. Please visit

Some of the changes include:
• Part II:
• Section A: The Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) section, if applicable, has been updated
to the most current language of our permits. Additional conditions for specific industry sectors have
been added to the SPPP requirements in some cases.
• Sections B, C: Failure to perform analytical stormwater monitoring may result in the Division requiring
that the permittee begin a monthly sampling scheme.
• Sections B, C: A lower TSS benchmark of 50 mg/I for HQW, ORW, PNA and Tr Waters applies to these
more sensitive waters.
• Sections B, C: The monitoring parameter Oil & Grease (O&G) has been replaced by the parameter
Total Petroleum Hydrocarbons (TPH) for vehicle maintenance areas, and in some cases, other
analytical monitoring requirements.
• Sections B, C, D: Inability to sample due to adverse weather must be recorded in the SPPP, or in
separate on -site records if your General Permit does not require an SPPP. Adverse weather is defined
in the "Definitions" section of the permit.
• Sections B, C: The term "Representative Storm Event" has been replaced by "Measurable Storm
Event." A measurable storm event is defined in the permit.
• Section D: If the permittee fails to respond effectively to problems identified by qualitative
monitoring, DWQ may require the permittee to perform corrective action.
Please review Parts III and IV to understand the Standard Conditions of your new NPDES General Permit,
including Compliance and Liability, Reporting, Monitoring and Records requirements; Operation and
Maintenance obligations; and Definitions. Please note that all samples analyzed in accordance with the terms
of this permit must be submitted to the Division on Discharge Monitoring Report (DMR) forms available on
the Stormwater Permitting Unit's website above. DMR forms must be delivered to the Division no later than
30 days from the date the facility receives the sampling results from the laboratory. Also note that existing
permittees do not need to submit a renewal request prior to expiration unless directed by the Division.
Your coverage under the General Permit is transferable only through the specific action of DWQ. This permit
does not affect the legal requirements to obtain other permits which may be required by DENR, nor does it
relieve.the permittee from responsibility for compliance with any other applicable federal, state, or local law,
rule, standard, ordinance, order, judgment, or decree. If you have any questions regarding this permit
package, please contact the Division's Stormwater Permitting Unit at (919) 807-6300.

Subject: RE: White Street Landfill Compost Stormwater Permit
Hi Gail, sorry for the delay in responding to your earlier email last month.
I was at your facility some time ago when the Monitoring Committee of the Compost Stakeholder Group met there, and
Jeri took us on a tour. But still I'm not sure I remember all the specifics at your site, other than there was the potential
for composting and landfilling operations going on at the same site, same time. So, with no refresher on the physical
facts (which do matter), here's how I think your site might fit as I remember it:
I'm assuming you currently have composting activities and landfilling activities. And if you are a Type 1
composting facility per your DWM composting permit, then all of your discharges are considered stormwater.
That means you do not have to worry about permitting the wastewater discharges as far as distinguishing them
from stormwater discharges. They are all stormwater per new state legislation this past summer, for Type 1
facilities.
In general for circumstances where two permits might pertain, we in the Stormwater Permitting Unit always try
not to have two permits on one site, if we feel that we can protect the receiving waters with just one permit.
So, our preference is always to see if we can issue just a single permit. My beginning perspective at your site
would be the same, subject to a refresher on the physical facts, and evaluation by the Winston-Salem Regional
Office.
• 1 just now reviewed the analytical testing for the two General Permits that we would consider at your site:
NCG12 for landfills, which is the permit you are currently operating under, I believe. And NCG24 for
composting operations. Under NCG12 your current obligation is to test 2/yr for TSS. COD, and fecal, plus
weekly inspections of the stormwater controls, including the erosion and sediment control features. Under
NCG24 your obligation would be to test the stormwater discharge quarterly for TSStCOD fecal, nitrogen, 't
phosphorus, copper, lead zinc and H• a more substantial testing burden. (Background: NCG24 is a roll -out
program for us. We deliberately selected quarterly testing for NCG24, in part, in order to gather more data
quicker so that'both DWQ and composters can operate from the same sort of appreciation for the real pollutant
content in the discharges from a compost site.)
More background: As I understood what Raleigh told us, the cost was the key element that caused them to
pursue legislation on this issue, and in particular the classification of all discharges as stormwater was the key
element in reducing their forecasted costs at their Wilders Grove Road facility. Subsequently and on the basis of
their reduced cost forecast, Raleigh applied for coverage under NCG24. BUT please note, your circumstance is
different from Raleigh's. Raleigh did not have their compost facility co -located on their landfill. They were not
in a position to explore the choice between NCG12 (landfill permit) and NCG24 (compost permit.) They needed
relief via adjustments to the compost permit, and they had no alternative through the landfill permit like you do.
OK, back to Greensboro. Even though your circumstances are not like Raleigh's, you can still benefit from the
legislation, I think. I would want our folks at the W-S Regional Office to visit your site with the choice between
one landfill permit (the current NCG12) and two permits (NCG12 for most of the site, PLUS NCG24 for the
compost portion discharges). As 1 said, my beginning preference would be that we just stick with NCG12. BUT,
really would like the benefit of me and/or our folks in W-S visiting the site again. As I remember the site
conditions, I think we could go with just continued coverage under NCG12.
• The one thing I think I remember about one of the operational areas of the site was that you had a grinder set
up right at the head of a drainage ditch that went pretty directly off the site. This is pretty vague for me, and I'd
want to take a look at that area again, as well as the physical facts of the drainage from the composting area.
Heads up: we are about to re -issue NCG12 at the end of this month, October 2012. In general, and in response
to comments from the permittees, there has been a small relaxation of the monitoring and inspection
requirements, although not as much as some in the industry requested during the public comment period.
• Sorry to be so long-winded. How's this for a plan? a) You request that the WSRO folks visit your site with this
particular question in mind. I'll join them if I can; b) I'm inclined to think that continued coverage under the re-
issued NCG12 will be sufficient, but will want to hear from WSRO that they think the same; c) if so, then you can
'withdraw' your application for NCG24 with no hassle from us. At any point in this scheme, if it appears that
there might be pollutant discharge problems, we would have to re -think how we could approach it together.
• Gail, if you see a quicker/better path, just let me know, I'm open to doing what makes sense for us all.

Good Morning Mr. Pickle,
How will the new compost legislation impact us? I realize there may not be a `simple' answer but I would ask for your
guidance on how we should move forward to make that determination.
Background: Our Large Type I compost facility is located at the White Street Landfill and is included in NCG12 right now.
I submitted our N01 for NCG24 with the idea that we would try to separate the compost discharge points from the
landfill SDOs in order to set up two separate sampling/monitoring regimes. Also, we have been looking to modify (or
possibly cease) our compost operations but have made no decisions to date.
New Legislation: i saw where Raleigh had opted to apply for a NCG24 certificate of coverage for stormwater only, and
DWQ would excise the wastewater language. Would that apply to us as well or could we potentially only need NCG12
coverage?
Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.

Representative Outfall Status Request
White Street Landfill
Guilford County
The Winston-Salem Regional Office st��viewed your request dated January 20, 2010 for a
determination that stormwater discharge all (SDO) 001 be granted representative outfall status for
stormwater outfalls 002,003 and 006. Based on the information and maps provided and a site visit
conducted on January 8, 2010, we are approving this request. In accordance with 40 CFR §122.21(g)(7),
you are authorized to sample outfall number 001 as a representative outfall. This approval is effective
with the next sampling event. We also want to remand you that the pernut still requires Qualitative
Monitoring be performed at all SDOs, regardless of representative status.
Please remember that any actions you initiate in response to benchmark exceedances as directed in the
tiered response provisions of your permit must address all drainage areas represented Uy SDO 001, where
appropriate.
Please append this letter to your Stormwater Pollution Prevention PIan (SPPP) or permit to document
that representative outfall status has been approved. If changes in drainage areas, structures,
processes, storage practices, or other activities occur that significantly alter the basis of this approval,
representative outfall status may no longer be valid. You should either resume sampling at all SDOs,
or reapply to this office for representative outfall status based on updated information. If you have any
questions or comments concer3ung this letter, please contact me at (336) 771-4963 or at

Dear Mr. Bassinger: _
On behalf of the City of Greensboro, S&ME Inc. (S&ME) submits this Request for
Representative Outfall Status as well as a Sampling Plan in regards to the exceedances of
the benchmark values of fecal coliform and/or total suspended solids (TSS) at outfalls
#004 and #005 at White Street Landfill in Greensboro North Carolina. This letter is
written in response to a meeting on January 8, 2010 between Ms. Lisa Ennis of S&ME,
Mr. Lewis Walker of White Street Landfill, and Mr. Corey Bassinger of the North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDEN1P),, Division of
Water Quality (THE DIVISION).
Request for Representative Outfall Status
Similar activities which are limited to landfill cover repair and minimal traffic occur
within drainage basins #001, #002, #003, and 4006, with the exception of 9,000 tons per
year that is landfiiled in the drainage area leading to 4006. Land cover in each drainage
basin consists of vegetative cover as well as with paved or gravel roads. Similar
analytical data has been reported during semi-annual stormwater sampling events. Please
note that in an email dated January 11, 2010, Mr. Bassinger stated that THE DIVISION
would agree with S&ME's assessment that the "biodiversity" and the "wide range of
animals that inhabit the facility" are primary contributors to the fecal coliform
exceedances. With is finding, Mr. Bassinger also stated that THE DIVISION would
recommend that fecal coliform monitoring be conducted as required by the permit and
.not as required by the Tier Response requirements.
Based on this information, on behalf of the City of Greensboro, S&ME Inc. requests that
outfall #001 become the representative outfall for outfalls #002, #003, and #006. Two
copies of the Stormwater Pollution prevention map and a Summary of Stormwater
Quality Monitoring is attached for your review in regards to this request.

Stormwater — ROS and Sampling Plan S&ME Project No. 1584-98-081
White Street Landfill, Greensboro, NC January 19, 2010
Sampling Plan
Based on the exceedances of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total suspended solids
(TSS) in stormwater samples collected from outfalls 004 and #005, S&ME proposes the
following sampling plan. During two subsequent representative storm events S&ME will
collect a Stormwater sample from outfalls #004 and #005 as well as two additional
Stormwater samples in the area of the compost/mulching facility within these drainage
basins. Each stormwater sample will be analyzed for TSS, COD, and pH. Following the
receipt of the analytical data from the second sampling event, S&ME will provide
NCDENR with a letter report summarizing field activities and analytical data.
Based on the finding that the "biodiversity." and the "wide range of animals that inhabit
the facility" are primary contributors to the fecal coliform exceedances, the required fecal
coliform monitoring will return to semi-annually monitoring as required by the Permit
and not as required by the Tiered Response requirements.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide this information. Please do not hesitate to call
our office at 288-7180 if you have any questions or comments.

Representative Outfall Status Request
White Street Landfill
Guilford County
Dear Mr. Williams:
The Winston-Salem Regional Office staff have reviewed your request dated January 20, 2010 for a
determination that stormwater discharge outfall (SDO) 001 be granted representative outfall status for
stormwater outfalls 002, 003 and 006. Based on the information and maps provided and a site visit
conducted on January 8, 2010, we are approving this request. In accordance with 40 CFR §122.21(g)(7),
you are authorized to sample outfall number 001 as a representative outfall. This approval is effective
with the next sampling event. We also errant to remind you that the permit still requires Qualitative
Monitoring be performed at all SDOS, regardless of representative status.
Please remember that any actions you initiate in response to benchmark exceedances as directed in the
tiered response provisions of your periiui must address fill' drainage areas represented by SDO 001, where
appropriate.
Please append this letter to your Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan (SPPP) or permit to document
that representative outfall status has been approved. If changes in drainage areas, structures,
processes, storage practices, or other activities occur that significantly alter the basis of this approval,
representative outfall status may no longer be valid. You should either resume sampling at all SDOs,
or reapply to this office for representative outfall status based on updated information. If you have any
questions or comments concerning this letter, please contact me at (336) 771-4963 or at
corey.basinger@ncdenr.gov.

Subject: General Stormwater Inspection - NPDES General Permit No. NCG120013
White Street Landfill, City of Greensboro — Guilford County
Dear Mr. Bost:
On September 16, 2008, Jenny Graznak of this office performed a General Stormwater
Permit Inspection at the White Street Landfill located in Greensboro, North Carolina. This
facility holds General Stormwater Permit No. NCG120013 under the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) to discharge Stormwater, from Landfills. You were
present for the inspection. Other City of Greensboro staff present for the inspection included
Greg Thomason, Technical and Planning Support Manager. This type of inspection consists of
two basic parts: a review of facility files and self -monitoring data, and an on -site inspection of
the facility's outfalls.
1. Permit
The permit became effective November 1, 2007 and expires October 31, 2012. Please make
sure you are familiar with the new permit and changes to the monitoring schedule. Analytical
monitoring is now required twice per year and qualitative monitoring remains on a weekly basis.
2_ Records/Reports
As required by the permit, the landfill has implemented an Erosion and Sedimentation Control
Plan, which was approved by NC Division of Land Resources. In accordance with the
Stormwater permit, the facility also holds a permit for a sanitary landfill from NC Division of Solid
Waste Management.
3. Facility Site Review
The landfill covers an area of 980 acres in northeast Greensboro. Only one section of the
landfill is currently active. All other areas are either temporarily or permanently covered. The
landfill has no aboveground storage tanks of chemicals or petroleum products. The site does
perform vehicle maintenance inside a covered building.
4. Effluent/Receiving Waters
Stormwater discharges from this site drain to North Buffalo Creek (Class C; NSW) in the Cape
Fear River Basin. There are six outfails on the property. All of the outfalls except Outfall 005
drain from Stormwater ponds. Little to no water was observed in the ponds, except for Outfall
006, which was full of water and Canada geese. Outfall 005 is an actual live stream (tributary to
North Buffalo) that accepts a large amount of runoff from the landfill. Due to concerns of
practicality, a sample is typically collected from the stream itself. Outfall 004 has some standing
water and algae present. Please note that in -stream samples are not technically Stormwater
samples. N'oneI Carolina

5. Self -Monitoring Program
The stormwater permit requires analytical and qualitative monitoring at each of the site's six
stormwater outfalls. An on -site review of the analytical and qualitative monitoring data during
the inspection showed that all parameters were analyzed per the specifications of the permit.
Until recently, Research & Analytical Laboratories has been handling the annual analytical
monitoring, and Mr. Thomason conducts the weekly qualitative monitoring. S&ME will be taking
over the monitoring for the Stormwater permit as well as handling the erosion control
maintenance at the landfill.
The last analytical monitoring event took place on May 28, 2008. There were some sampling
results above the benchmark values. Outfall 001 reported a high concentration of Total
Suspended Solids, likely due to the open landfill that drains to this discharge point. Outfall 004
reported high Chemical Oxygen Demand, likely due to amount of algae in the Stormwater pond.
Outfalls 005 and particularly 006 reported high Fecal Coliform numbers. Outfall 005 drains from
an off -site pond that is popular with local ducks and geese. Outfall 006 drains from a large on -
site pond that is home to numerous geese on the property. Mr. Thomason has completed a Tier
One Stormwater management inspection at the facility since three outfalls exceeded benchmark
values. If the next sampling event results in a value outside the benchmark range, you.will be
required to follow the requirements of Tier Two Criteria and Responses.
Qualitative monitoring takes place on a weekly basis and after a rain event of 0.5 inches of rain
in less than 24 hours. There are ,two rain gauges on site. On -site vehicle maintenance
monitoring requirements are also performed because the maintenance shop uses more than 55
gallons of new motor oil per month when averaged over the calendar year. All monitoring
frequencies are in compliance with the permit.
Please refer to the attached report for further details from the inspection. If you have any
questions concerning this report, please contact Ms. Graznak or me at (336) 771-5000.

White Street Landfill
Lisa and Lewis,
I recommend the City take the following actions based on my site visit last Friday, January 8, 2010, relative to permit
NCG120013 (White Street Landfill):
1) formally request to the Division (in writing) that Representative Outfall Status (ROS) be granted for Outfall #001
(representative of #'s 002, 003, 005 & 006).
2) conduct a study over the next several months ("4-6 months) at the Compost Area in order to determine a future
course of action for the discharge from this area (COD & TSS).
At this time, the Division would agree with S&ME's assessment that the "biodiversity" and the "wide range of animals
that inhabit the facility" are primary contributors to the fecal coliform exceedances.
The Division would recommend that fecal coliform monitoring be conducted as required by the permit and not as
required by the Tier Response requirements. COD and TSS would still follow the Tier Response Requirement until the
compost area study is complete. Rather than write several letters, I will wait to receive the City's response. The City
does not have to wait for my formal written response to suspend the Tier Response sampling requirements for Fecal
Coliform.
Should you have questions or comments, please do not hesitate to contact me
Thanks.

Dear Mr. Bassinger:
On behalf of the City of Greensboro, S&ME Inc. (S&ME) submits this Request for
Representative Outfall Status as well as a Sampling Plan in regards to the exceedances of
the benchmark values of fecal coliform and/or total suspended solids (TSS) at outfalls
#004 and #005 at White Street Landfill in Greensboro North Carolina. This letter is
written in response to a meeting on January 8, 2010 between Ms. Lisa Ennis of S&ME,
Mr. Lewis Walker of White Street Landfill, and Mr. Corey Bassinger of the North
Carolina Department of Environment and Natural Resources (NCDENR), Division of
Water Quality (THE DIVISION).
Request for Representative Outfall Status
Similar activities which are limited to landfill cover repair and minimal traffic occur
within drainage basins #001, #002, #003, and #006, with the exception of 9,000 tons per
year that is landfilled in the drainage area leading to #006. Land cover in each drainage
basin consists of vegetative cover as well as with paved or gravel roads. Similar
analytical data has been reported during semi-annual stormwater sampling events. Please
note that in an email dated January 11, 2010, Mr. Bassinger stated that THE DIVISION
would agree with S&ME's assessment that the "biodiversity" and the "wide range of
animals that inhabit the facility" are primary contributors to the fecal coliform
exceedances. With is finding, Mr. Bassinger also stated that THE DIVISION would
recommend that fecal coliform monitoring be conducted as required by the permit and
not as required by the Tier Response requirements.
Based on this information, on behalf of the City of Greensboro, S&ME Inc. requests that
outfall #001 become the representative outfall for outfalls #002, #003, and #006. Two
copies of the Stormwater Pollution prevention map and a Summary of Stormwater
Quality Monitoring is attached for your review in regards to this request.

Stormwater — ROS and Sampling Plan SWE Project No. 1584-98-081
White Street Landfill, Greensboro, NC January 19, 2010
Sampling Plan
Based on the exceedances of chemical oxygen demand (COD) and total suspended solids
(TSS) in stormwater samples collected from outfalls #004 and #005, S&ME proposes the
following sampling plan. During two subsequent representative storm events S&ME will
collect a stormwater sample from outfalls #004 and #005 as well as two additional
stormwater samples in the area of the compost/mulching facility within these drainage
basins. Each stormwater sample will be analyzed for TSS, COD, and pH. Following the
receipt of the analytical data from the second sampling event, S&ME will provide
NCDENR with a letter report summarizing field activities and analytical data.
Based on the finding that the "biodiversity" and the "wide range of animals that inhabit
the facility" are primary contributors to the fecal coliform exceedances, the required fecal
coliform monitoring will return to semi-annually monitoring as required by the Permit
and not as required by the Tiered Response requirements.
We appreciate the opportunity to provide this information. Please do not hesitate to call
our office at 288-7180 if you have any questions or comments.
Sincerely,

REPRESENTATIVE OUTFALL STATUS (ROS)
REQUEST FORM
FOR AGENCY USE ONLY
Date Received
Year Month
Day
if a facility is required to sample multiple discharge locations with very similar storm water discharges, the
permittee may petition the Director for Representative Outfall Status (ROS). DWQ may grant Representative
Outfall Status if stormwater discharges from a single outfall are representative of discharges from multiple
outfalls. Approved ROS will reduce the number of outfalls where analytical sampling requirements apply.
If Representative Outfall Status is granted, ALL outfalls are still subject to the qualitative monitoring
requirements of the facility's permit —unless otherwise allowed by the permit (such as NCG020000) and DWQ
approval. The approval letter from DWQ must be kept on site with the facility's Storm water Pollution
Prevention Plan. The facility must notify DWQ in writing if any changes affect representative status.
For questions, please contact the DWQ Regional Office for your area (seepage 3).

4) Detailed explanation. about why the outfalls above should be granted Representative Status:
(Or, attach a letter or narrative to discuss this information.) For example, describe how activities and/or
materials are similar.
surface areas in drainage areas have been capped. No landfilling occurs in the
drainage areas, with the exception of the drainage area leading to outfall #006.
Approximately 9,000 tons a year is landfilled in this area as shown on the attached
map. Semi-annual results are similar from each outfall._The four outfalls are connected
directly to sediment ponds.
5) Certification:

Compliance Schedule Correction

Dear Jerry W Covington:
It recently came to the Division's attention that the compliance schedule in the NCG120000 permit is
incorrect. The compliance refers to requiring a Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan which is not a
requirement of this permit. The corrected compliance language that should go under Part III, Section A: 1. is
shown below. We have also attached a new page reflecting this change for your permit file (Part III page 1 of
11). This new page should replace the current page in your permit.
SECTION A: COMPLIANCE AND LIABILITY
Compliance Schedule
The permittee shall comply with the permit in accordance with the following schedule:
Existing Facilities: Upon the effective date of the Certificate of Coverage the permittee shall comply
with all of the conditions detailed in Part 11, Section A: Final Limitations and Controls for Stormwater
Discharges.
New Facilities: Upon the beginning of discharges from the operation of the industrial activity the
permittee shall comply with all conditions detailed in Part II, Section A: Final Limitations and Controls
for Stormwater Discharges.
If you have any questions concerning this matter please contact Aisha Lau at
(919) 733-5083, ext. 578.
